Tasting Notes
The aromas in this are amazing with blueberries, blackberries and fresh mushrooms. Black olives. So aromatic. Full-bodied with super velvety tannins and lovely depth of ripe fruit. Balanced. Wild flavors on the finish of meat, berries and forest fruits. Hints of decadence. Equal parts of cabernet franc, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Best Figeac ever. Try after 2020.

So much forest fruit, fresh mushrooms and sweet tobacco. Complex. Full body and very polished, velvety tannins. A long and flavorful finish. Still tight. A big and rich wine. Needs five to six years more. But impressive to taste already. Feb 2017, www.jamessuckling.com
Figeac to a T - long, fresh and distinctly Médocain in style. Fragrant, cassis-dark fruit aroma and flavour. Pure and exact, no false notes. Drink 2018-2040. Decanter.com
Distinctive, with atypical (for St.-Emilion) force and drive to the black currant, roasted cedar and maduro tobacco flavors, which are supported by a dense, loam-tinged structure. Terrific roasted espresso, ganache and fig paste notes wait in reserve. Very muscular, but with the cut for balance. Best from 2017 through 2035. James Molesworth, WineSpectator.com
